So since I watch terrorists, I’ve been watching myself. My latest in FrontPage: As the director of Jihad Watch, I have an ongoing interest in the activities of violent extremists, and have been tracking those activities daily for eighteen years now. But now, in their benevolence, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube have made it easier than ever […]
Egypt’s Sisi: Islamic scholars must counter ‘erroneous thoughts that spread with aim of distorting image of Islam’
Here again we see “Islamophobia” used in the sense of criticism of Islam. “Anti-Islamophobia” initiatives advance in the West under the guise of combating vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims. But once they’re in place, these measures are used to silence any negative discussion of Islam, including discussion of the role of Islamic texts and teachings […]
UK: Stabbed Christian preacher says frequent attacks by ‘Muslim mob’ make Speakers’ Corner unsafe for Christians
The investigation is ongoing, but “Hatun Tash, the victim of a stabbing at Speakers’ Corner…said that the supposed ‘home of free speech’ has become unsafe for Christians as a result of an increasingly belligerent Muslim mob.” You can find more news and analysis about the stabbing from Jihad Watch HERE. The stabbing of Hatun Tash […]
‘Batman’ Cartoonist Frank Miller Canceled From Comic Convention For ‘Anti-Muslim Hate’
My latest in PJ Media. Comic book artist Frank Miller, whose credits include Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City, was all set to appear at the Thought Bubble Yorkshire Comic Art Festival this November in England; in fact, he was listed first among the luminaries who were set to attend. But now he has been […]
‘Batman’ cartoonist Frank Miller dropped from comic convention over accusation of ‘anti-Muslim hate’
Frank Miller himself is not defending “Holy Terror,” so I’m certainly not going to defend it on his behalf, and I don’t endorse torture or killing of innocent people, as his hero seems to in the illustration. But that is not what the controversy is about here. It’s over the claim that “Holy Terror” is […]
Middle East Forum Founder describes designation of Jihad Watch as ‘violent extremist’ as ‘repugnant & absurd’
Daniel Pipes, President and Founder of the Middle East Forum, rightly described the libelous branding of Jihad Watch as a “violent extremist” organization by the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism as “repugnant & absurd.” Read full story HERE. In a tweet, Pipes identified Jihad Watch as a “mainstream conservative group,” even though toxic “progressives” […]
UK Muslim publication says Christian stabbed at Speakers’ Corner ‘is known for insulting the Prophet’
This is just painting a large target on Hatun Tash’s back. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which […]
Social media giants’ Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism classifies Jihad Watch as ‘violent extremism’
This is pure libel. We have never advocated or approved of any violence or any illegal activity of any kind. And if we are “extremist,” so is the U.S. Constitution, for we are trying to defend the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law. […]
Al-Qaeda threatens jihad massacres in France, calls for murder of Macron over ‘insults to Islam’
Al-Qaeda is considerably emboldened lately. What could have changed over the last seven or eight months to account for that? “Terrorism Threat: Al-Qaeda Threatens France, Police Warn Public to be Vigilant (Video),” by Amy Mek, RAIR Foundation, July 24, 2021: While French police call for citizens to be vigilant, Macron’s open borders policies have remained […]
Muslim Stabs Christian Evangelist at London’s Speakers’ Corner
My latest in PJ Media: On Sunday at the famed Speakers’ Corner in London’s Hyde Park, Hatun Tash, a convert from Islam to Christianity who frequently engages in debates with Muslims, was stabbed above her right eye and on her hand by a Muslim who objected to her preaching, as well as, apparently, her Charlie Hebdo […]
